Hey guys...Wondering if FTO GPX is better than FTO GR???

I know that GPX is Mivec and quicker than GR...I was referring more in terms of reliability?

I would have said about the same in that regard. If youre looking at putting a turbo on it then a GR seems to be more popular as it is easier, but otherwise you would be best choosing a GPX or GPvR

GPX has bigger breaks as standard over the GR too.

Also, you can't beat the sound of MIVEC!

Short answer, Yes.

Get GPX if you're staying NA

Get a GR if you're going to Turbo / Supercharge.

GPX all the way... What point is there in putting a turbo in an FTO ? ... i say thats a waste of money... if you want turbo... get a nice s15... or gt-t

um... short version, yup gpx
but... i'll leave it to someone else to argue the good points of the gr lol

GR Manual is most reliable,

mivec packs up in gpx
as does complicated gearbox, though your pretty safe from 98 up

WTF

How can you ask whats a better model, every car is individual, sure some may have common problems but to weigh up which model is more reliable is impossible.

easy tiger!

Don't care if you've got a GPX, GR, GS... you'll love her like nothing else.

For me, my GR's been nothing but a dream. The one thing to go wrong with her (stepper motor) was a quick cheap fix that took a whole of 5 mins. Starts every time. Most reliable car I've ever had, and she'll be 13 next year.

in the end they look the same
they dont have that much less power
if its cheap then buy it...

but the GPX has better brakes, the climite control unit etc this are nice things to have. The MiVEC is quite nice but dont get a hard on over it its not that great,
